The objective of this research was to evaluate a magnetic ion exchange process (MIEX) for the removal of natural organic material (NOM) and bromide on a continuous-flow pilot-scale basis under different operating conditions and raw water characteristics. The most important operating variable was the effective resin dose (ERD), which is the product of the steady-state resin concentration in the ...

Deoxygenation-induced red blood cell (RBC) sickling probably activates multiple cation leak pathways. In an attempt to model this, we examined the net passive K efflux ("K leak") from normal and sickle RBCs undergoing elliptical deformation in hypotonic media (200 mOsmol/L). This hypotonic deformation activates two deformation-dependent K leak pathways that are not detectable during the balance...

The crystallization of a 1:1 molar solution of 1,2-di-iodo-3,4,5,6-tetra-fluoro-benzene (o-DITFB) and tetra-butyl-ammonium bromide (n-Bu4NBr) from di-chloro-methane yielded pure white crystals of a halogen-bonded compound, C16H36N(+)·Br(-)·C6F4I2·0.5CH2Cl2 or [(n-Bu4NBr)(o-DITFB)]·0.5CH2Cl2. The compound may be described as a quaternary system and may be classified as a salt-cocrystal solvate. ...

In the title mononuclear copper(II) compound, [CuBr(NCS)(C(10)H(15)N(3))], the Cu(II) atom is five-coordinated by three N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, the N atom of a thio-cyanate ligand and by one bromide ion forming a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into chains propagating along [101].

In the title monohydrated salt, (C(6)H(14)N(2))[CuBr(4)]·H(2)O, the copper(II) ion is coordinated by the four bromide ions in a flattened tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, the cations, anions and water mol-ecules inter-act via N-H⋯O, O-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the b axis. The chains are further linked by O-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the bc...
